Where do you go to escape for me-time? The hair salon? Your local coffee shop? Even the bathroom?? Our editors weigh in.

“I go to the bathroom. I know it's sad, but yes. That's where I can get a little me-time right away.” — Grace Bastidas, Editor-in-Chief, Parents Latina and Ser Padres

“My closet is a good place for a quick 30 second regroup. Really any room that my kid isn't in, I'll make up an excuse. Something I need in there…” — Liz Krieger, Interim News Editor, Parents

"Nap time when my oldest is at school to Netflix binge while I fold laundry." — Alisha Storms, Facebook

“This is kind of sad, but the subway ride. My commute to and from work is kind of me-time because that's when I get reading done. I shouldexercise. That should be me-time. But that doesn't really happen.” — Erika Janes, Executive Editor, Parents.com

"When you have a two year old and are 9 months pregnant, mommy's bathroom breaks get extended by a minute or two to just lean against the vanity and give yourself a pep talk that you CAN handle the next meltdown!" — Jessica Shrader, Facebook

"I go for a walk in my neighborhood or a nice walking track in the park. Most of the time I have my daughter at home with me so I set her up her own small art area and I set up mine. It keeps her occupied so I can paint. Both take me away from the present moment and give me time to clear my head." — Lisa Kozma, Facebook

“I sneak to yoga class for me-time. And then sometimes somebody brings their daughter to yoga time and then I'm kinda bummed because I’m like, can’t this just all be grown ups? I just want a room of grown ups. Just for a little bit.” — Jessica Hartshorn, Entertainment Editor, Parents

"I turn on my shower, play some loud music and sit in my shower and let the water fall." — Sammie Nuriko, Facebook

“The main place I go to escape for me-time is getting my hair done. That’s kind of like this amorphous, ambiguous thing that could just take hours and hours.” — Ayn-Monique Klahre, Deputy Editor, FamilyFun

"Either the bedroom or grocery shopping. A change in scenery is my way to relax."— Colleen Lachat, Facebook

“I love to go to my local coffee shop and have a cup of coffee by myself without juggling a kid and stroller and all the other usual things I have with me. That's what I love to do on the weekend.” — Laura Fenton, Lifestyle Director, Parents

"Literally to the couch when both my teenager and 8 year old are not home for some good old lifetime channel." — Nicole Roberts-Rawding, Facebook
